BIM global solutions

Anonymous — Sun, 09 Jun 2019 12:13:05 GMT

Just a question as we plan to go forward with BIM (meaning we work already with archicad in bimcloud) :
What would be a good suite for 4D, 5D and 6D, starting from Archicad ?
I've heard of Bexel manager, CostX, or BimOffice ?
Does anybody know a good suite to investigate or use ?

The first question is what do you need exactly ?

In France I have never encountered a "global BIM" solution that is relevant in practice
I work personally to develop a solution that is as relevant as it is easy to use
I will nevertheless follow this post carefully

Christophe, use /www.deepl.com for your FR>EN translation 😉
It's working very well !

Ok, I would need a global BIM solution as we use this following workflow :
- we modelize into archicad (3D, BIM, schedules, etc etc)
- for now, we export schedules to our budget team, who use a homemade calculation system, using filemaker and databases.
- we work with contractors with Excell to export our lists and recovering their prices.

What we would use is something more "global" to read the information from archicad or IFC, and can handle quotations with contractors.
The reason is, with our amount of small and fast projects, our filemaker (local and homemade databases) system becomes a gaz-industry..
We are starting to loose time to maintain the database instead of working properly...

That's the main reason why we search another solutions.

It was absolutely not voluntary. Thank you Barry for this little correction
